FAIRYS ARE HAPPIER! Preorder my album to support the fairy community: www.olaenglundshop.com
I ordered it yesterday. Leave me alone!
Ola, What was your favorite SNES game? Much love from Arkansas, USA. Also, the singlecut looks sick.
0:00 HE STOLEN IT FROM HIS DAUGHTER! He is a pervert he likes to dress up like a fairy!
:D
DIF or AIK? I suspect not the latter. Proud Gnagare here though ;)
lol..the look after you said.. "Aren't Bass Player's just rejected guitarists?"
"I like Dream Feeder." -Ola Englund the Swede
That’s Bullying!!!🤣🤣🤣
What time shall I pick you up?
I'm sorry, Ola. I love you and your way of talking. 🤘😾🤘
Dream Feeder is actually a pretty cool band name idea.. 🤔
Actually just looked it up, and there is a dream feeder... but they suck. They are a classic rock cover band.
Ola the fairy is my new favorite Ola skin
Hey Ola, as a bass player I can confirm that at least 4 of us do actually exist. Speaking of which, can we expect to see Solar basses in the future?
Something like your Warlock would be killer.
@@kimseniorb Yes Warwick the Warlock was hideous ! I am looking to to get a Warwick to go with my Jackson.
kimseniorb what kind of warlock do you refer to? The guitar or the band or the mage?
Erlannd Errantem Love the band , Hate the BC Rich guitar, Witchcraft is imaginary but fun , the movie sucked and the motorcycles kickass !!! Did I miss any Warlocks ?
Hey ola, thanks for the videos, they've helped me stay positive while I've been going through some negative stuff. Stay awesome Ola!
Hey Ola, with running a fledgling Guitar business, being a UA-camr, a Dad a Husband, and basically just being Ola the busy Swede, do you think your guitar playing has suffered? How do you even find time to try and progress/practise? What do you do to manage time to play?
He didn't have time to answer this. LOL
@@brucehanby2156 true
He doesnt practice. He plays the way he plays. Never more and never less hahaha. He did slow down more in his playing. Its gotten more subtle.
Aaah! Commodore 64! Good old times :D Lode Runner, Pipeline, Last Ninja, Defender of the crown, Pitstop 2, Impossible Mission, Creatures... Awesome t-shirt by the way. So what was your favorite game Ola?
Don't know about Ola but for me the best game on the Commodore was Elite. Despite it taking about three weeks to load!
Impossible Mission... reading that name makes me so happy man, thanks for bringing me back
Don’t forget Forbidden Forest, Bruce Lee, G. I. Joe, Summer Games, Aztec Adventure!
@@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy Yeah, that was really ahead of it's time. Later they even brought it back on PC
@@OlaEnglund :) That was really cool indeed, although the intro with that emulated human voice creeped me out
Congratulations on your new house!! I can't wait to see how your recording space turns out! It will probably look like a guitar museum!!
Hi Ola, I just wanted to say thank you for making videos. Your channel and your guitar playing has made me begin to practice every day to get better! Thank you for the content!
Hey Ola. I usually unsubscribe before starting a video of yours and then re-subscribe when i'm done watching it. I hope you are looking at that counter in that moment and i play with your emotions.
"Play with your emotions" could make a great 80s power ballad.
i just saw At The Gates guitarrists using your guitars in last year gig, pretty sic footage
If they stole Ola's guitars, they should give them back immediately
Can't wait to get the album and tab book! I got the guitarist edition and I'm stoked!
Been watching these FAQs for some time now. Not a super fan of the music, but love your attitude as an entertainer, and the laughs. Need more of them these days. Bought the pre-release CD for that reason. Definitely need to make my way to Sweden now and thank you in person. Wishing you, you big Swedish fairy, and your family well.
Hey Ola! Love your videos. Have you ever considered making solar basses? Have a great day.
Don't think he has plans for them last time I checked.
You asked the damned question
I love your videos when you don't talk about guitars, guitar stuff, those guitar things on the floor you touch with the foot to change sound and amps 😎 I don't know what's left of you but whatever it is I love it!!! You're great Ola!!! But I hate you for coffee with Ola, everytime there's a new one I see the eyes of my man and I understand I won't see him for about one hour 😎 do something to entertain me in that hour, like a makeup tutorial from your wife 😎
I have a sneaking suspicion the camera is on Ola's left...
@@gilbertspader7974 thank you 😎
@@Roberta-lc5zu Your most welcome lovely lady .
Congrats on the new house! Just pre-ordered the album. I started playing guitar again after watching your videos. Maybe I'll pick up one of those badass single cuts in the future. I am waiting patiently for that red one Jeremy Varao was playing at NAMM.
Hey Ola hope your well, I suffer with epilepsy which affects my health and it upsets me, I watch your videos everyday and they always put a smile on my face. 🤘
Wooooo shout out for the c64 shirt!!!
Riff of the day. Amon Amarth. Please. Thanks.
Preferably Twilight Of The Thunder God
i think the way you say "three" is adorable! never try to change who you are to please the rest of the world, you're beautiful just the way you are 💚
Hey Ola, Cheers from France. I I watch all your shows on youtube and the credits (which are extract from The Haunted I guess), gave me the desire to buy the last two albums and I do not regret it, absolutely killing and sharping. Great gur Ola, keep the positiveness \m/
Sup Ola, when you were at Washburn you had an 8 string model, any plans to bring 8 strings Solar models?
Is there going to be a 7 string single cut solar?
Hey Ola, i really liked the series with gaming and metal...Please bring it back again!!!
Hey Ola..greetings from Michigan....as always love the FAQ vids...they always make my day....!!!!...just bacame a member and preordered your album....cant wait to get it....!!!...
Hey ola can you check the chilean thrash/prog metal band Parasyche? They are pretty cool guys and their music is absolutely amazing, cheers!
Paul Rogers I’m pretty sure he can! :D
Expect not suspect, but oKaY
Cerberus is awesome Ola! Can't wait for the album!
Hey, Ola. I’ve seen you here and there in UA-cam Land, but this FAQ video (recommended by UA-cam -thanks, UA-cam) was the first time I’ve seen you taking questions. Entertaining and informative! I’m now a subscriber. Looking forward to future content. Me? I’m a 60 year old metal head who has been playing guitar in a very mediocre fashion for over 45 years. I’ll never have the skills of a player of your level, but I still enjoy your insights, not to mention your playing of course!
I’m coming to Stockholm soon. Where is the best coffee?
Do bass players exist? Im trying my best...
Like, the bass player in Meshuggah is actually tuned higher than the guitars. So how is he still the bass player if. the guitars are lower?
Because he's holding a bass.
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx He is not tuned higher than the guitars, its the same tuning. And in some songs he still goes octave lower at times.
Dave Lanciani idk about now, but their bassist used to tune in Drop Bb(Bb F Bb Eb) for their 7 string songs, and used the F when the guitars use their 8 string guitars. There is a YT vid that explained this.
Ola! I wanna thank you, man! I’m gonna record my first guitar review video tomorrow and it’ll be my first good quality video on my channel. In short, you’ve inspired me to finally get off my ass and make content and become a UA-camr! Thanks for the inspiration, broski!
Falling Into Infinity was my first Dream Theater album too! 🤘
Hey Ola, have you considered Solar Guitars jumping on the "Extended range / Multiscale / Fanned Fret" bandwagon? There are not many companies making real-deal djent-chugg-machines, not those shitty wanabees (7 string, 25,5' FR and EMG's - that was ok like... ten years ago?) - real big companies like Ibanez and Schecter, only having one or two models that aren't that well thought out... Basically Chapman being the only one selling serious baritones (28inch), and now Abasi Customs, but they're a bit too much design wise imho. I'm asking cuz you defo nailed the style and design game at Solar, and I'm pretty sure there is a chance you had an idea for a multiscale Solar that stumbled across your mind in the past.
Cheers from Poland!
BTW, Really happy for You and Louise getting your own house! All the best for You!
I second this. I'm in the market to buy a multiscale fanned fret 7 string, and I really wish it could be a Solar guitar! I'm probably gonna settle for the new Reaper 7MS from Schecter.
Ola!!!! Pls!!! Answer me!!! Old 80s pantera. What are your thoughts on them. F@#&
Love from Australia ***Clap***
Why is their 80's stuff not available anywhere? In "All over tonight" Dime's solo is fricken awesome!
fuck yea brother, come on eyes, all over tonight, entire power metal record, just fucking awesome!!! GETCHA PULL
Hi Ola, I'm totally agree on your initial review on Dream theaters new album, definitely the best since awake if you ask me. by the way, you are a great ambassadeur for us in Sweden, Rock on from Växjö!
I can't wait for the full album 😍
Did you and tosin trade guitars at namm?
@Paul Rogers kinda lame for a burn or insult
Cant expect much from a Paul
Maybe he meant that they traded my mom around, that would be more relavant to my statement
Hey ola, love all your shit man... My question is, would you ever consider making any solar guitars with just the bridge pickup?
Riff of the day, strength in numbers chorus riff. One of the best riff I ever heard👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Ola! Coffee with Ola series are getting better and better, Tosin's was such a delight to watch. I hope the one with Devin really happens and if you can have Peter Tagtgren it would be incredible. Question, who did the visuals for Cerberus video? Is it stock footage? It looks badass. Have a great week.
Hey Ola. Could you give some tips on overcoming stage fright. I seem to freeze up whenever I try and play in front of anyone other than friends. Thanks.
Just keep doing it over and over. It goes away
Alcohol.
@@rocketPower047 it doesn't goes away, it's not like "do this X times and it will go" that's not always true. Maybe it last all your life, but you get use to it and learn how to controle it
@@Croissantrophy.meme.channel I don't know, worked for me to some extent
Be another person in your mind . A super version of you . Alice Cooper and David Boowie developed characters to not be themselves on stage . Drugs are better after the show.
Not offended wamon who plays bass 😂😂 🖕🏼🤘🏼🖤
My chick plays bass, five string even!!!! Chick musicians rule! Lol
That's awesome! I agree with you there lol! You're a lucky guy :)
I swear if she ever busted out doing a windmill, so proposing on the spot lmao
Awesome! Made my day. Thank you Ola. Kick ass work☠️
Hi Ola! I really like you new song. It's inspiring, thx so much. Rock on!
Ola, what amp head and amp cabinet would you buy with 1700 euro??
A used Randall Satan and Marshall 212 with V30s
Mendozer01 jesus, that would be like 2000-2500 here. Engls and peaveys are kinda cheap though.
Katana Air and a bunch of groupies!
What about a Hughes and Kettner Grand meister can hook up to pc and record out and a small 2x12 if you gig.
Or what about the new misha peavey mini head.
@@hollywoodactress thought about that one...
I'm pleased to hear the guess at the SC release is soon. Been saving up for it. I'm sure it and my Blackjack ATX will make a cute couple.
I always fall asleep watching these FAQs, you have a very calming presence. Have you ever considered doing ASMR?
Hey there Mr. Hola England. Do you think Solar guitars will be in Stores like Sam Ash or Guitar Center in the US?
@Common Sense Learn how to use puncuation before posting a comment.
@Common Sense I don't even know what that says, because there is no puncuation once again.
Say “Puta que pariu!”.
Hey Ola, Could you please talk a little bit about reamping a DI track? The concept is beyond me. I have preordered your solo album and cannot wait to hear it. I love everything I have heard thus far. Peace, love and metal from New Mexico U.S.A!
Hi Ola!
As a long time The Haunted fan (and yours as well) I was a little skeptical when I read you were joining the band, but I was really blown away by Exit Wounds, it has probably become my favourite album in the bands discography (and I also love Strenght in Numbers). I love how you brought your influence in the band's sound without drowning it, but as a beautiful added value to it, can't wait to see you guys live (haven't had a chance since you joined the band, unfortunately).
My question is what is your favorite The Haunted album that you did NOT play on?
Cheers from Italy!
Hi Ola. Can you adopt me?
My bass player never shows up so no, they do not.
As a bass player I would be offended .Except the reason I am a bass player is exactly what you just said !!!!
Hello there, just wanted to leave this comment to thank you for your awesome content and the work you put into this. Your content is both ridiculously entertaining and informative. Thank you,
A fellow European
Greetings from California, Ola! I've been a member for a while now and I'm loving it, man. Funny to think I saw you at NAMM in 2015 (I believe) and barely knew who you were. I actually do remember thinking to myself "Oh, there's the guy who uploads those UA-cam tutorial videos using a computerized voice." I got a picture with you and Kieth Merrow come to think of it. Gotta get an updated picture with you maybe next year at NAMM! Take care, Ola the Sweeeede.
Bass players are a figment of everyone's imagination. There are however very bad guitarists that can only play on 4 giant strings 🤷🏼♂️
No shortage of bad 6 and 7 stringers either.
When he floorgasmd to the memory of Dream Theaters Metropolis pt2 Scenes from a memory I felt a bit old and a string musical kindship. That album is such a piece of art. Falling into infinity was my first too and it set a new benchmark for epic. Trial of tears by John Myung is just mmmm.
Ola! Love your videos man! Love from India.🤘🏼
Hey Ola! Proud to be part of your 1%, or is it 2% wamen viewers :) My husband and I watch your FAQs every Sunday morning over breakfast. Love your channel! Keep up the awesome work!
Now for the question, what do you think of Devin Townsend's new single, Genesis?
Can't wait for your Dream Theater review- it's an amazing album!
Hello Ola !
The new DT record is good, isn'it ?
My heroes are Yngwie, Eddie and Jimmy (P) but yes John is a great guitar player...
And thanks for your creations, your music sounds good too !
Hope the the situation is better in your country.
Frédéric from France
I love your channel so much I wish I could subscribe 100 times!! Got me riffing again and got me wanting to go 7 sting one more time! Chug on!
Hi Ola, cograts on buying the new house! I am happy for you! When will you move into the new house? Will we see your new videos in the new house? 🌸✌👍
Hi Ola! When are you moving to you new home? I feel proud of you and everything you are making right now with your music, life, and business, I've been following you since your first video and you're an inspiration for me.
Also i'm planning to buy a solar guitar soon but I can't decide wich one. :D
Best Regards from Mexico.
Nice shirt! I still have my Commodore Vic 20 from the mid 1980's.
Ola, I just became a fan of your channel, but more important, your personality. Keep rockin, bud. Anyways, will you or have you ever used a BOSS SY-300? I love how it's an analog synthesizer, as well as act as a multi-fx unit.
Hola Ola, love all your videos, you've helped me massively in shaping my tone to be heavy as sheit! My question is have you ever listened to Tremonti before? Guitarist from Creed and Alter Bridge in solo metal band, sick as hell. Keep up all the good you do, love ya
ordered the new album and a t-shirt rock on brother
Ola on recording guitars if you use a splitter and record the impulses directly as well as with effects you can reamp later.
You have excellent taste in bass guitars. I have the same one, in black.
Hi Ola! 2 things. 1) how does it feel to now own your own home? As happy with it as you thought it would be? 2) ever think about doing quilt tops? More specifically a purple top (consult the ESP/LTD MH-1000NT STP). Cheers from Buffalo ny.
Next FAQ. Can you recommend a well rounded set of passive pickups that has clear clean tones but can also chug ? Thanks love the channel. Just wish I could afford a Solar guitar to help support you more!
Mr. Ola,
I hope you are having a rad day man. What do you think about a 28" scale, Solar 6 string baritone? Not sure if Ola / Solar fans even have any interest in tuning super low.. You are always an inspiration man. Thank you! Congrats on the house and new album!
Cheers!
Bunn
The coolest t-shirt ever man! Made me nostalgic a little bit. 152 years ago I was the happiest kid alive because of this beautiful C-64. River Raid rulez!!!
I pre-ordered your solo album with the guitar player package, can’t wait to play along with the tabs. Did I hear you say that there will be a jazz song on it? I heard you talk about hiring a saxophone player.
Hello from Hell, Michigan, Positive Ola.
Share what the perfect studio / man cave in your new house would look like.
Keep the positive vibes & cool content coming.
Hej Ola! Greetings from GBG!
Love your channel and hope that you are feeling great today!
I was wondering if you could do "All against all" as riff of the day? I know it was before your time in The Haunted, but I still love that song!
Take care!
Ola.. one of my Guitar N UA-cam Inspiration.
Greetings and love from Nepal.
Hi Ola when do you think you put your solo album out? I have pre-ordered it and looking forward to getting it. Both the tracks you have put out so far are excellent
Lovely Commodore shirt! Love it. Want it
Ola, I'd love to see one of your reviews on either a Victory Kraken head or a V4 Kraken pedal preamp.
I love you Ola and also new album from Dream Theater
Ola, you are a delightful human being.
Hey Ola, love ya bro, my question is: could you tell us a little about your beginnings as a young guitarist? Like your first guitar and amp.. how about a pic of you then.
Ola you kick ass! You've really helped me expand my views on the guitar. With that said, how important is learning music theory to you?
Ola that’s a brilliant idea, if you build a house next to yours you get to choose your neighbors, pick some really cool peeps to live next to!
Congrats on the new house! Looks amazing and so excited for you! Does UA-cam demonetize your videos for cursing? I hope not because you work so hard on your content! Thanks for the quality!
Hey Ola! Have you ever listened to Crotchduster? Their most popular song is Mammal Sauce, but I recommend the entire album. Richard Chisty introduces the live track on the album "Stars Ingenious Cooter" at the Dussseldorf Beerfest! Hope you enjoy the most metal band to hit the scene since Hellspawn Warhammer of the Nordic Wind.
Thanks for another great FAQ video Ola. Makes my day when my fella and I get to hang out and watch your videos together. Also you can totally call me a wamen any time. Hah! Much love from Canada. Hope to see those preorders shipping soon!
Dude love the riff on the song
Hey Ola! My boyfriend got me watching your videos and I love them! Your burps are hilarious, never stop! Love from Canada
There’s this super sick band called Night Verses, used to be post-hardcore, now they’re insane prog instrumental. Totally check them out
Hi Ola! Have you ever heard of airis effects? They're starting to get bigger names like Gary Holt. Thanks as always. Keep up the good work!
There are actual bassists out there (like me) and some aren't just rejected guitarists.
Yes, we're rough to find good ones but they ARE out there! Kinda the reason I commented about the lack of basses on a previous FAQ and (hopefully) be able to hold a kickass Solar bass in my future.
Also Warwick is a great bass, I own a 5-string Corvette
I’m almost sold on picking up a Solar guitar to add to my collection, just wondering about the neck feel. Could you please speak in detail about the neck profile, maybe a comparable feel from a popular brand to compare with? Also congrats on the house, that’s awesome. You are going to be crazy busy for awhile, can’t wait to see what you do with the place. Take care and keep up the great content!
Another great FAQ, Ola!
Cheers from Canada
Hey Ola, long time subscriber. Thanks for the great content. In the last FAQ you were asked about the bass you use for writing, any plans on a Solar bass in the future?
Swede Ola... I'm about to order a Schecter guitar... Give me a good reason to change my mind and order a Solar instead.... Cheers from Greece! My cat loves the cover of your album!🤘
Evertune bridge is the only reason you need.
Allo, Ola. How are you going to keep up with putting out content when you move into your new house? I got to tell you, buying and moving into a new house is super time consuming. Good luck and congrats.
12:20: Guitars aren't usually just plug and play for DI recording. You don't need an Apogee interface or anything, the presonus you have is probably good enough. The bulk of the work is guitar + pickups, and then tweaking your virtual amp and finding the right impulse response. That's 90% of it, assuming your audio interface and PC have enough power to prevent you from having a bunch of latency. Little things like having your signal chain in the correct order will make all the difference at the outset. It's only when you get to Ola's recording needs and level of playing that you start to notice the small differences between interfaces or the like.
Wired Guitar (I think) has a tutorial on getting a good guitar sound with virtual amps.
Tone has to be sculpted, to some degree. I think Ola has a few videos on it, but you need to tweak your settings and make sure you have some basics down. If you're just playing around, it will probably sound fuller in stereo rather than mono -- recording and jamming needs can be different.
